Bsc Degree in  Chemistry

Why Choose Chemistry? 

Chemistry plays a vital role in our everyday life and is the driving force behind many developments in science and technology.  Liquid crystal displays, new drugs for cancer, alternative energy sources and solutions to environmental problems such as the Ozone Hole are just some of the applications of modern-day chemistry. 

In fact chemistry is at the heart of many exciting developments in technology, medical life sciences and the environment and is justifiably called the “Central Science”.  

The BSc Chemistry Honours degree has been awarded accreditation by the Royal Society of Chemistry and is recognised as a professional qualification.

1st Year

The diverse nature of chemistry requires the student to gain an initial fundamental understanding of the “academic principles”, which underpin the various “real world applications” of Chemistry.  Hence the First Year covers many of the fundamental concepts relevant to inorganic, organic and physical chemistry.  Lectures are accompanied by tutorials, laboratory practicals and computer-aided learning tutorials.  A previous study of Chemistry is not assumed or required but it is clearly advantageous to have some knowledge of the subject at Leaving Certificate level.
